Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing vessel space across assigned services, with a focus on achieving full utilisation.

- Reviewing performance against targets, producing KPI reports and investigating variances.
- Coordinating booking office and customer allocations in line with commercial priorities.
- Balancing empty container repositioning with customer requirements and available capacity.
- Monitoring vessel utilisation, supporting routing decisions and reducing port dwell times.
- Identifying opportunities to contain operational, storage and port costs.
- Maintaining accurate information in internal systems and coordinating with commercial teams, operational colleagues and shipping partners.
The role would suit someone with around 2–3 years’ experience in shipping, logistics or a relevant analytical role. Previous liner shipping experience in pricing, space control or capacity management would be advantageous.
You’ll bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills, commercial awareness and a proactive, organised approach. You should be comfortable making decisions under pressure, managing competing deadlines and building effective working relationships.
